Feel like treating myself and the ponies, I like the look of the le meiux set, just wondering if one make is better than the other or if they are much the same.

I started with Ossler brushes. And their fine rubber curry comb. They are easier for elderly fingers to grip. Those are ones I still use. Includng the tail brush once a top choice on H&H,
Then I bought a couple of Haas brushes for a finer coated Spanish type eventer mare. I use them to give a final polish to my current mare.
I think there is a difference in the grooming method. That the palm of ones hand rests on and can press down on a traditional brush and the Haas brushes, while the Western USA style Ossler brushes, depend on the bristles rather than the weight of your hand.

Thank you, that's something to consider.
